Dear Mr Fitzgerald
I am sending you by this mail a short paper on Hysteresis. Though I have looked at the matter in the way explained in the paper for some time I had in working at a paper I am engaged on to look into the thing more closely and thought it would be worth publishing separately, especially as it bears on my paper already published in the Electrician.
I think the method of treatment is new, and if you think so, I will be very much obliged if you send it to some society or send it to the Electrician or any paper you think best to send it to.
I hope it is new as I think it neat. Blakesley's method (geom) of heating hysteresis is wrong as it does not give the power absorbed proportional to wbh x volume.
I put a remark at the end of this paper (on page 10) about how to get a sine curve of impressed magnetism. If you do not think it important you might kindly draw your pen through it.
I forgot in my last letter to you to say that I will settle with you for the 100 copies of my paper from the Electrician when I get home.
Yours very sincerely,
Thomas R. Lyle
